Texas Endangered Species

            An endangered species is an animal that is becoming extinct and its population is decreasing. In Texas we have 63 different endangered species. An example animal that is being endangered are bobcats, because they are dying and losing their habitat from wild fires that have been happening. They also been losing there habitat because people are messing up there habitat and building new things where they live. Another example is the sea turtles because many people catch them and kill them and not that many sea turtles are left because they die at a young age.
          A couple of ways we can prevent these animals from becoming extinct will be by replacing them somewhere else so they can live and not die and also we can not mess with their habitat. Many native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must navigate a landscape full of human hazards. One of the biggest obstacles to wildlife living in developed areas is that created by roads. Road divide habitat and present a constant hazard to any animal attempting to cross from one side to the other. Harassing wildlife is cruel and illegal. Shooting, trapping or forcing a threatened is also  illegal.
